Free Again, a chestnut daughter of champion Stage Door Johnny, was bred in Kentucky by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Green and William T. Young. åÊRacing for her breeders at three and four, the filly won five times in New York, including a 5 1/4 length allowance victory at Saratoga. åÊAfter her racing career, Free Again entered stud at Overbrook Farm and was eventually sold at Keeneland to Agricola A., which took her to Italy in foal to Cure the Blues. Inscribed on the back of this paintings are notes by Mr. Green noting that John Hay Whitney and Paul Mellon would fly this artist to Lexington to paint their horses. åÊIt was on one of these occasions that Green and Young had her paint Free Again, named for the song sung by Barbara Streisand.
